Interesting finding of this poll from one of Canada’s best pollsters: highest support for ending restrictions in Saskatchewan and then Quebec. I’m sure the media will be tweeting and reporting on this as @sunlorrie has done. https://t.co/wgqMFuT8JE

WNU Editor: So much for labeling these Canadians as a fringe minority. Do not be surprise if in the coming weeks the political and media narrative in Canada starts to change.
Count me as one of those who believes Covid restrictions should change, and that our focus should shift to protecting the vulnerable. My mother is 95 and she is suffering from dementia. We are taking care of her at my home, and I have no problems in restricting my life to protect her.
Update: The political and media narrative that this weekend's truck protests were racists is falling short (see below).

Update #2: Truck protests in Europe? .... The “Freedom Convoy” is being prepared in Europe (French Daily News).
Update #3: Elon Musk is clued in on what is happening in Canada.
More here ....If the government had the mandate of the people, there would be a significant counter-protest. There is not, therefore they do not.
